Bookish thoughts from a woman of endless curiousity

It’s Good to Be Back

August 4, 2009

And with internet access too. Refusing to look at Google Reader right now and trying not to freak out that I’ve become such an inconsistent blogger.

Here’s the short recap:
**Enjoyed my workshop on teaching, despite it being 9-4 including a Saturday. I mentioned on Twitter, so I might as well say here, that I’m working on my teacher certification.
**Loved the time I got to spend with my sister!
**Met a blogging friend in person for the very first time: the lovely Amanda from Zen Leaf. Ended up talking for over four hours!
**Visited Anthropologie and all of the other stores that I can’t go to in this retail wasteland (to be fair, if I drove up to Denver I’d be fine).
**Went on several dates. I’m apparently much more attractive to Texans than Coloradans.
**In between all of this, managed to get a few books read as well!

I’ll be getting back into the swing of blogging over the next few days, and I can’t wait to catch up with what everyone’s been up to! I’m sorry there are so many comments I haven’t replied to; I’ll get to work on that as well. And happy August everyone, lol.

Good to have you back!! Sounds like you had a great time. Very cool that you are working on your teaching certification!! I’m starting back to school this semester to do the same thing! Ack. I can’t believe classes start in like 3 weeks. It’s been a while since I’ve been in school, so I’m a bit terrified!

Statistically speaking, Texas has more men than many states. Men seem to need lots of room to drive their big trucks and Texas has that. Perhaps you can capture a Texan and take him back to Colorado and civilize him. ;->

Lots of dates :) I might have to skip over to Texas not been on a date in ages, men in Chemlsford are pants. But dating here is pretty different from in the States if tv and movies are to be believed. Most me here think you’ll jump into bed with them that first night!

Teaching :) Another one captured in the net lol its great, but can be pretty stressful and knackering

It was great to meet you, and I’m still startled that we managed to talk that long and not realize what time it was! I’m glad you had fun, and I”m with everyone else – hit “mark all as read” and start over from there. No one’ll fault you for that. :) Welcome back.

Hope you enjoyed the break and am glad to hear that you’ll be joining us teachers. (I think my mom was a bit disappointed when I ultimately chose this profession, she expected great things from me. LOL. ‘Course I feel its about the greatest thing I could be doing!)

Welcome back! Sounds like you had a really good time. I hope ‘catching up’ is relaxing for you and not stressful.

Don’t you just love Anthropologie? They have the best catalogs and we have a retail store here in Kansas City that is fabulous to visit. I love their clothes (not for me, of course!) and the style with which they present merchandise in the stores and catalogs.

Well it sounds like you had a fantastic time! That’s so awesome that you’re thinking of becoming a teacher!! You’d be awesome Eva :) And very cool that you got to meet Amanda…she’s quite the cool blogger!

Glad you’re back! I love Anthropologie as well. Like you, I have to schedule it in when I travel since we don’t have a store near by. However, it’s probably better for my pocketbook that we don’t have a store near by. :)

Happy August to you too! And I hope you can get some reading in! We’ll be here when you come back….it’s not like I’ve been any better commenting on blogs this summer either It’s been a dreadful summer!

Thank you for commenting! For a long while, my health precluded me replying to everyone. Yet I missed the conversation, so I'm now making an effort to reply again. It might take a few days though, and there will be times when I simply can't. Regardless, I always read and value what you say. Cancel reply
